Yup, I got this too when I tried to make a 'batched tree' by doing a
dtml-tree with the result of a dtml-in.
I gave up...

IMNSHO, dtml-tree needs a big rewrite.

I'd love to do it, but two things are stopping me:

1. Other projects (Swishdot leaps out ;-)

2. As everyone knows what I think already: DTML has 'some problems'. In
the course of solving these, I hope the problems with the tree tag will
go away as a matter of course. that means fixing it now would be a waste
of time ;-)

I dunno, is anything being done to solve the 'DTML problem'?
(there seem to have been a few proposals on dev to help, how are they
getting on?)

cheers,
